Chapter 762: Chapter 17: End of Heaven—Gate of Realms
At the same time, to the north of the world, at the extreme of the glaciers.
Once an adventurous descender to the mortal realm, the Dragon Turtle Xuan Wu, has now completely transformed into human form, possessing a few shades of the future True Martial Emperor’s might.
However, he is not yet the True Martial Emperor, but rather the leader of the Beidou Seven Stars—the Greedy Wolf Star Monarch.
Even with the experience of proving the Dao successfully, it doesn’t mean that proving the Dao in this era is smooth sailing.
Moreover, Zhen Wu’s ambition is far beyond merely proving the Dao.
For the current Zhen Wu, his path of killing has reached its pinnacle.
At this point, reaffirming the path of killing would not surpass his achievements in the future.
Zhen Wu still wishes to innovate further, to continue his path of killing to a higher level of evolution, much like Emperor Hao did two thousand years ago.
——Three thousand paths of Dao, eight hundred side doors.
——Every path leads to the great Dao, side doors may also yield Dao Fruit.
Zhen Wu still remembers hearing Dao Ancestor’s evaluation of the paths of Dao in Purple Cloud Palace.
Since Taiyang can become the initial driving force in the opening of Heaven and Earth.
Then the path of killing might also reach a similar extent.
Under such circumstances, temporarily becoming the most murderous among All Heaven Star Gods, the "Greedy Wolf Star Monarch," naturally became a highly reliable alternative.
However, what Zhen Wu never expected was that before he could deduce a new path of killing, the Beidou Seven Stars began to tremble.
"So what exactly happened?"
With furrowed brows, gazing at the starry sky, in this polar night within the icy glacier, Zhen Wu could clearly see those seven dazzling polar stars.
Only to see the Beidou Seven Stars forming a giant ladle shape.
Like a "Emperor’s Car," escorting a dim star which has yet to shine within.
Zhen Wu knew that this was the Ziwei Star destined to return in the future, the most dazzling star in the polar sky.
Yet now, the Ziwei Star which should have become the "Emperor Star" was shifting its position, seemingly making room for the other stars.
Here, one must mention a lesser-known fact.
The so-called "polar star" in essence does not specifically refer to a certain star, but generally denotes a location.
"Position holder of the celestial pole" is the polar star, the end of heaven, also the master of All Heaven Stars, and the Emperor Star commanding the Star Gods.
As long as the timing is appropriate, even the Greedy Wolf Star might be able to become the brightest polar star.
This results in the "polar star" being a non-fixed star.
As long as the Emperor Star has not returned, all All Heaven Star Gods have the potential to become the leaders of All Heaven Stars.
"Taiyi’s fall, Ziwei’s succession, who altered this trend?"
"Could it be the retired Di Jun?"
Zhen Wu muttered in confusion, star shine already reflected in his pupils.
Back then, when Emperor Ziwei traced the long river of history and shattered the Taiyi Star, Zhen Wu also participated as the "Greedy Wolf Star Monarch."
Although not completely aware of the internal affairs, Zhen Wu could be certain that Di Jun indeed went to the Celestial Realm.
In other words, even though Di Jun wanted to interfere with the circulation of All Heaven Stars, he no longer had that capability.
"Could it be related to the Tao Ancestor?"
Instinctively turning his gaze towards the direction of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Zhen Wu naturally had long noticed the existence of the [Gouchen Celestial Palace].
In fact, among countless future possibilities, the mountain people have made the bold gesture of launching artificial stars into the sky.
There have been successes and failures, but never as sensational as now...
Indeed, apart from "sensational", Zhen Wu couldn’t think of another word to describe the current situation.
——What is the name of the "Tiangong" they launched this time?
This fleeting thought flashed across his mind, and Zhen Wu felt he might be vaguely catching the crux of the problem.
With countless future possibilities, the mountain people’s numerous launches of Tiangong are not rare.
So in different future timelines, the Tiangong successfully ascending naturally differ.
However, in the vast majority of cases, the Tiangong crafted by the mountain people merely becomes one among the eighteen thousand Evil Stars.
Only in very rare instances, some Tiangong is elevated to one of the three hundred sixty-five All Heaven Main Stars.
And in these successful futures, most are results of interference by Tao Ancestor.
"Then the question comes, what does Tao Ancestor want to do this time?"
After a brief contemplation, Zhen Wu decisively gave up on further blind guessing.
Guessing a thousand times is not as good as personally going to see the Hundred Lands Mountain Range once.
After all, Zhen Wu was also very curious about what was special about the Tiangong launched by the mountain people this time, attracting so many Star Gods to dare offend the Tao Ancestor and gather for assault.
Whoosh!
With just a simple step forward, Zhen Wu’s figure appeared a thousand miles away.
——Divine Power · Shrinking Inches!

"Is that the ’Profound Garden Gate’?"
Standing before the core building of Long Bo Plaza, Bi Xiao looked in awe at the nearby gate.
Calling it a "gate," its essence is actually a space passage directly leading to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
Viewed from afar, the space passage presents itself in an arched "door leaf" state.
On this side of the space passage, the bustling, never-ceasing Long Bo Plaza.
While on the other side of the door leaf, clearly visible roads, mountains, and rivers, even the air is distinctly different from here.
If you look closely, you’ll discover this space passage is stabilized by numerous complex arrays, covering the entire Long Bo Plaza.
Or more precisely, the whole Long Bo Plaza was created to stabilize this space passage.
This is neither a traditional "transmission array" nor any sort of hyper-space passage.
Simply from Bi Xiao’s understanding, this resembles more forcing two spaces separated by miles to adhere together, thus forming a spatial marvel.
"It’s said to be modeled after Tao Ancestor’s ’Qiankun Ring.’"
"Although lacking convenient divine powers like Shrinking Inches, in terms of applicability and popularity, it far surpasses the latter."
Proudly gazing at the [Profound Garden Gate].
Qiong Xiao continued revealing a fact that made Bi Xiao envious.
"Back when building this ’Profound Garden Gate,’ the teacher specially invited me and elder sister to observe."
"Despite not understanding those complex runes and arrays at all, nor how the Three-Eyed Race managed to refine a piece of land into a ’Magical Treasure’..."
"But the teacher said it’s alright if we don’t understand, just to remember it."
"Especially those construction drawings, they’ll surely be needed someday."
At this point, even Qiong Xiao had to marvel at the generosity of the Three-Eyed Race.
The techniques of drawing talismans, laying arrays, refining artifacts aside, the design plan of the [Profound Garden Gate] is genuine treasure.
Even the design drawings were extremely complex, the concept drawings alone being a hefty volume.
Yet to openly publish it, allowing all construction participants to view, that kind of magnanimity is beyond ordinary people.
Qiong Xiao saw in it not just the mountain people’s extravagance and dominance, but also a deep-rooted pride and heritage.
As Tao Ancestor’s recognized followers and kin, the mountain people have no fear of others catching up.
Or rather, most mountain people hope someone can catch up with them, wishing they’re not lone travelers of this era.
